Feeling Pink - Work in Progress

I made this a separate blogpost, just because I want to celebrate this progress in my painting journey!This is the first time I have painted without critically sketching with pencil on the canvas. It feels like I have been able to express myself freely, fully and easily! So here I am posting how I progressed through the different stages in painting this beautiful waterlily:Final Painting:

Below is Stage 1. Stage 1 is just the first impression and marking the light and dark shapes in the flower.

﻿

Stage 2: In Stage 2, I actually put in the shapes of the petals, specially the inside petals. I forgot to take a picture just when I stopped painting Stage 2. So below is the result of progressing a bit more into Stage 3 - specially the center part of the flower.

Stage 3: Don't have a picture of Stage 3 either. But stage 3 is about creating more variations in each of petal shapes and the background.

Stage 4: This is the completed painting with final touches and highlights.

The inspirational photograph is below. Thanks to Wetcanvas community for posting these wonderful pictures and hosting monthly challenges.﻿

About Me

I have been artistic and tried out different mediums – water color, acrylic, silk painting in early part of my life. However, oil painting has been a journey of last five years. Although I am a self taught artist, Susan Sarback’s workshop this year, gave a huge boost in the quality of my paintings. At the same time I got hooked on to painting using palette knife!
I love the experience of creating and expressing myself through colors! I hope my paintings bring the viewers lots happiness.
